About
This is an award-winning sake at the Annual Japan Sake Awards for the Reiwa 3 (2021) brewing year. It is a Daiginjo made with top-grade (tokutou) Yamada Nishiki rice grown in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Its aroma is bright and fragrant, with a solid sweetness, yet the finish is clean, resulting in a soft, silk-like flavor. The Annual Japan Sake Awards is a national sake competition co-hosted by the National Research Institute of Brewing (formerly the Brewing Research Laboratory of the National Tax Agency) and the Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association. Its purpose is to survey and study sake quality on a national scale, clarify the actual state of brewing technology and quality, and contribute to improving the quality of sake.
